Triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy in pediatric cataract surgery
Received 22 July 2008; received in revised form 7 October 2008; accepted 10 October 2008.
We describe a technique to manage anterior vitreous face disturbance that may occur during performance of a manual posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (PCCC) in pediatric eyes. The technique renders the vitreous visible to the anterior segment surgeon and ensures a thorough and complete anterior vitrectomy in congenital cataract surgery after a manual PCCC using preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide.
